Island Burger serves great burgers! They have a wide variety of combinations of toppings for your burger. You can also get the toppings on a piece of grilled chicken if you're limiting your red meat intake. Their shakes are the real thing - thick and creamy and they use real malt. The only thing that is missing is French fries - they never got a deep fryer. But they do serve a variety of potato chips. Their salads are also delicious - the ingredients are fresh and they give you alot of them! The place is small and narrow - you sometimes have to wait for a table during the height of the lunch hour.

This place is way overrated! The burgers, dressing and cheese were tasteless! The only thing that had flavor was the bacon and it was overdone. I had my burger on sourdough and the bread fell apart - a horrible option to have on the menu. This place is beyond over rated! I can't believe it made it to the top of the Best of 2008 list!? The only reason I can think of is the number of options on the menu and not the quality. There are way better options to choose from in this city! Pros: The service was ok Cons: Everything - the food was bad and we were squeezed into the place

I love love love Island Burger. I order delivery from they practically once a week. I always get the South of the Border burger, but their salads and shakes are amazing also. And I love that I can order online, and the food gets here hot and delicious in 15 minutes. Highly recommended for anyone in the area who loves a good burger and lots of variety.

Someone recommended Island Burger to us, as it is hard to find a great hamburger. We tried it and liked it very much. The burgers are charred nicely on the outside and med. rare on inside (that is how I ordered it). Although the med well done one was a little dry. The salad was very good. It is a small restaurant, but we would go back. The waitress was nice too. We have been here a few times more and everytime it is great. The Cobb Salad is so good and very large and the hamburgers are so good. The people next to us had a baked potato it was huge! Freedom of Speech! Pros: Very Good Food Cons: A little small but if you know don't complain

Quaint Burger joint in a clean neighborhood. A must-do for any burger-lover when in NYC. A great menu with decent prices! Burgers were a bit thick, but still cooked just perfect. I have never seen so many choices for types of burgers/chicken sandwiches. Truly unique!! Pros: Great Staff, quick food prep, menu choices, over-all value Cons: Burger a bit too thick, but still tasty

Island Recipe? The place was cramped, but that was expected from what I read. A good # of combinations on the menu and the milkshake was excellent - definitely shook off the summer heat. As for the burger, it was well presented but poorly cooked - very dry, crumbly...I had asked for medium so maybe that's how it's cooked on the island according to the cook, but it's time to get off this island...

Island serves a SERIOUSLY GREAT hamburger. I've had take out from there 4 times now since I first stopped by two weeks ago (always the "people's choice" burger) and it's been better than perfect each time. The service is attentive and friendly and the burgers are swoon worthy. I've always ordered medium rare and they come just as they should - fat, slightly charred on the outside and very pink and juicy at the center. A co-worker of mine has had a couple of burgers from Island ordered well done and thought they were TOO done, so you should probably keep that in mind. As for me, I've never had a better burger in NYC at any price. Pros: The food, Crazy inexpensive, THE FOOD! Cons: can be crowded, occ long takeout wait, no fries
